No its "you have questions, we're questionable". By the way you can use laser printers to make iron on transfers. Just put photo paper in the laser printer. The instructions are on the net.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Dry Transfers for PCB Construction
I remember using black electrical tape to etch small circuit boards. It didn't make a very clean trace line, but it worked. 73, Joe, K1ike Mike Besemer (WM4B) wrote: > > 20 or so years ago, I used to do quite a bit of PCB etching using dry > transfers that were available at Radio Shack.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Dry Transfers for PCB Construction
Yes its a shame the day's of the neighborhood electronics shops are over ... I remember back in the 70's popping in a shop J&S electronics here and buying crystals & tubes (or even testing tubes on their tube tester) As of late RS has become nothing more then a cell phone/GPS (consumer electronics) shop...

RE: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Dry Transfers for PCB Construction
Mike, Many electronics specialty stores sell Datak printed circuit dry transfer design materials. Contact Philmore-Datak here: One method I have used is to create the artwork in AutoCAD or Visio, and then use a laser printer to set the image onto a clear piece of acetate- the product used to make overhead slides (before PowerPoint became the standard). Sandwich this acetate sheet onto the sensitized PCB, making certain that the emulsion side is facing the PCB. If not, reverse the image before printing onto the acetate. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Besemer (WM4B) Sent: Monday, May 25, 2009 5:20 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT: Dry Transfers for PCB Construction 20 or so years ago, I used to do quite a bit of PCB etching using dry transfers that were available at Radio Shack.
